This is the week that it all happens! I hope that you're all ready. This week's challenge is Follow the Star. Stars are so much a part of Christmas - maybe a star atop your tree, or the starry night that baby Jesus was born. All you need to do is have a star or two on your paper creation. I chose a stamp from Morning Star for my card. I used a matte finish silver, embossed the manger and star and added a rhinestone to the star. I love the simplicity of it of this card. Please join us this week, I can't wait to see your star-studded creations!

I'll be back next Tuesday with my star picks. In the meantime I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy & Healthy New Year!

Thanks so much to all who joined in our Christmas Carols and Songs challenge last week. I was looking for projects where a favourite line was used in the project somewhere and the cards below all caught my eye (and had me humming!)!

It's Kate here and I admit to singing Christmas carols since November this year. I love the old, traditional ones that my Gran used to sing and I love the contemporary ones that I'm just learning. I thought it would be fun to incorporate Christmas carols and songs into this week's challenge and am asking that you use a line from one of your favourite Christmas carols in your sentiment (or somehow incorporate a line into your project).

For my card, I let some graphic paper do most of the work but added a little angel (although I think she might be a fairy-turned-angel with her wand!) to announce the joyful news of the first Christmas. My Christmas carol is "Joy to the World". How perfect that I had a sentiment with just those words!!
Please check out what the rest of the Girlfriends have created for this challenge and then link up your own Christmas carol/song project! We can't wait to see what you create (and know that I'll be singing your songs up here in Canada)!!

Gosh, we are one week closer to Christmas (17 days away if you are counting). If you need another card or a few more tags or gift backs, why not join us this week in featuring Santa on your creation and sharing it with us?

Here are a few Santa tags I have made to give you a bit of inspiration and the Girlfriends have even more to get those creative juices really flowing. Hope you'll join us!

Welcome

Welcome to Little Red Wagon, a fun place to challenge your creativity!

Each Wednesday, one of The Girlfriends will post a new challenge that we hope will inspire you to try something different with your scrapbooking supplies. Then on the following Tuesday, we will feature our favourites from those who played along. Have fun and enjoy the ride!

The Story

One day a group of girlfriends got together to play with their papers, stamps, markers, ribbons, buttons and the rest of their seemingly endless supply of other 'have-to-have' scrapbooking and card making goodies. It was so much fun to talk, share, laugh and create with each other that they decided to create a blog that would motivate, inspire and challenge them on a weekly basis to use some of the supplies they have acquired. They also thought it would be fun to have all the other girlfriends out there join in and share their creations based on the weekly challenges. So, grab your wagon full of goodies (we know you have one!), get creative and have fun!
